All modules of the integrated management system are based on the HiScout platform with its open, object-oriented metamodel, data management and an individually configurable authorization system. Through the use of generic functions, HiScout can be customized as required, which means it can be used to map and implement a wide range of scenarios. Individual needs can therefore be flexibly, quickly and efficiently addressed.
HiScout features a sophisticated authorization concept with a range of configurations, allowing the user to manage data access in a target-oriented manner. Additionally, HiScout offers different approaches to multi-tenancy, such as fully dedicated systems, systems with shared master data, and separation based purely on roles and rights.
HiScout DocGen provides complete reports on the data managed in HiScout. The HiScout ISM and HiScout BCM modules already contain the most important reports needed for the respective management disciplines. Reports can be adapted flexibly – to suit your CI layout and the modified data model – and full reports can be generated from scratch. Reports can be created as documents (e.g. as a PDF), or integrated as an HTML preview for live reporting in HiScout (e.g. as a management cockpit).
The HiScout standard distribution offers multilingual capabilities in German and English. Additional language support can be added according to customer requirements. Multilingual data content is supported through the ability to localize object labels. The end user is presented with object labels consistent with the individually selectable user language setting.
HiScout DataExchange is the generic XML import and export interface for integrating third-party systems. The data structures to be exported or imported are configured by drag and drop and then imported/exported via routine. If the import/export data are not the same as the configured data format, they can automatically be converted via a transformation (via XSLT) before the import/export.
HiScout Business Logic Engine is used to automate management system processes. With Business Logic Engine, it is possible to map single-level workflows irrespective of their status, such as the creation of follow-ups, the mapping of specialized release procedures, the automated comparison of data, or the automated generation and distribution of documents. It can also provide technical support for complex, multi-level processes, such as security incident management, the comprehensive management of complaints, and the automation of crisis management exercises.
Using a replication mechanism, HiScout can provide an operable standalone system with replicated current data, e.g. on an emergency laptop. HiScout is therefore mobile in case of an emergency and can support users at their backup location.
In order to simply and effectively fill the structures modeled in the data model with data, HiScout offers users the option of creating freely configurable user interfaces. These can be individually adapted to suit the user’s needs and preferences – and do not require programming knowledge.
Thanks to its integrated DMS functions, HiScout GRC Suite facilitates the audit-proof management of rules and test documents. Changes can easily be logged later or put through a complex versioning operation including release process, depending on the user’s requirements.
The object-oriented data model in HiScout is very flexible and can easily be tailored to individual needs and preferences. The data structures and the interactions between data structures can easily be complemented with configuration interfaces.
If your company has specific requirements that, despite our system’s great flexibility, are not covered by our standard tools, HiScout has a plug-in architecture that can be used to implement these additional needs. This way, the plug-ins are smoothly integrated into the standard HiScout, causing you no disruptions. We will happily advise you on other customization options.
